Collection Intelligence

Device Collections:
  • Workstations, servers, and specialized systems
  • Administrative and infrastructure systems
  • Department or location-based groupings
User Collections:
  • Administrative users and service accounts
  • Department or role-based groupings
  • Application access groups
Administrative Boundaries:
  • High-privilege collections (admin workstations, servers)
  • Department-specific collections
  • Geographic or site-based collections
Deployment Targets:
  • Application deployment targets
  • Security update deployment groups
  • Operating system deployment collections

​
Strategic Analysis

Administrative Collections:
# Find admin-related collections
SharpSCCM get collection-members -n "admin" -sms SCCM01.corp.local -sc PS1
SharpSCCM get collection-members -n "server" -sms SCCM01.corp.local -sc PS1
Infrastructure Collections:
# Critical infrastructure
SharpSCCM get collection-members -n "DC" -sms SCCM01.corp.local -sc PS1
SharpSCCM get collection-members -n "SQL" -sms SCCM01.corp.local -sc PS1
Target Identification:
  • Members of administrative collections
  • High-value systems and users
  • Critical infrastructure components
Lateral Movement:
  • Device relationships and groupings
  • Administrative access patterns
  • Cross-collection membership analysis

Output Analysis

Collection Size:
  • Large collections (100+): Broad deployment targets
  • Medium collections (10-100): Departmental or functional groups
  • Small collections (1-10): Specialized or test groups
Member Types:
  • Mixed collections: Both devices and users
  • Device-only collections: System management
  • User-only collections: Policy assignment
